Document Summary

A valediction: forbidding mourning: our love is as god"s love. The poem, a valediction: forbidding mourning by john donne is an incredibly famous and insightful poem which explores topics such as life, death, and everlasting love. It begins with a description of the death of a virtuous man, who passes on peacefully and quietly to the afterlife. It is about dying honorably without tears and being full of pride for having lived a good life. The poem is very intimately connected to love and how the speaker defines his love to another. He uses clear metaphors to describe the passing of life to death, and the connection that remains between them goes on as they are one. By using themes such as death and love, donne is using the idea of carpe diem to express his love for her and the conclusion that their love will go on after death no matter what may come.

Description:

For this checkpoint, you will track the actions you take and reflect on them. For each action, you need to include:
Evidence of the action being taken. This could include, but is not limited to:
- Photograph of you taking the action
- Video of you taking the action
- Audio recording of an interview/ conversation / etc.
- Copy of flyers/letters/etc. you make
- Screenshot of proof of action (i.e. your signature on a petition, your membership confirmation to an advocacy group, etc.)
You will get feedback on the Cognitive Skill:

My issue is... Gun Violence

Action 1: Implement stricter gun control laws

What was this action? What did you do?

a devastating impact on individuals, families, and communities. One potential action to address gun violence is to implement stricter gun control laws. This could involve measures such as requiring background checks for gun purchases, raising the minimum age for gun ownership, and limiting the types of firearms that can be purchased.

In this section, place any evidence you collected of your action.

Reflection on the Action

Reflect on this action in a paragraph of at least 5-7 sentences.

Based on the evidence and results of your action, wha9t conclusions can you draw about your issue?

In this assignment you will be using the scientific method to develop your own experiment. You will not be conducting the experiment but you will develop one based on a hypothesis. You will submit a project containing the needed information outlined under the "Project" section.

Background Information:

The scientific method is a process used by scientists to develop experiments and test hypotheses. This process begins by making observations. The next step is to develop a question based on these observations, such as how something works.

Based on the question under investigation, a hypothesis is created. A hypothesis should be a prediction of what happens. It is written in an "if, then" format. An is designed to test a specific hypothesis. A scientific experiment should have an independent variable, dependent variable, and a control group. The independent experiment variable is what is changed in the experiment. The dependent variable is what is measured in the experiment.

A control group is a group in which the independent variable undergoes no change. The control group in an experiment serves as a baseline to measure the results of the experiment and can be very useful in isolating unknown factors which may influence the dependent variable.

Remember that a good experiment includes multiple repetitions for each experimental group.

Once an experiment has been conducted, all of the data collected is analyzed. Scientists look for trends in the data and use statistical analysis to compare all of the experimental groups. This is then compared to the hypothesis to see if the data does or does not support the hypothesis. Through this method scientists draw conclusions about their hypothesis based on whether or not their experiment was successful.

Below are the instructions for each section of the project. For this assignment you will follow the steps of the scientific method and develop your own experiment.

You will need to include all of the following information:

Topic: Start by deciding what you would like to investigate. Your topic may be related to biology, the environment around you, or some other topic you are interested in.

Observations: Make a number of observations related to your topic. If the topic you chose isn't something you can observe around you then you may conduct research about your topic and record any noteworthy information. Include a paragraph describing your observations in your final submission.

Questions: Using your observations or research, think about your topic and ask some questions. Think about how it works or why it may behave a certain way. Come up with two or three questions about your topic.

Hypothesis: Use the questions you came up with to develop your hypothesis. This is a prediction of what you think will happen and should be able to be tested. A hypothesis is written in an "if, then" format. If this happens, then this will happen.

Experiment: Once you develop a hypothesis, think of how it could be tested in an experiment. What would you be testing? What would you measure? Remember that you need a control group. The purpose of this group is to serve as a reference that can be used to compare your experimental results to. This gives you something to compare with all the experimental groups and monitor any change. Record all of the following information about your experiment.

Independent Variable: This is what you are changing in the experiment.

Dependent Variable: This is what you are measuring.

Control Group: This is the group unaffected by the independent variable.

Experimental Groups: These are the groups affected by the independent variable and there should be multiple replications for each group.

Submission:

Be creative with how you present your information. This can be done in a list, in a chart, in paragraph form, or another way. Be sure to include your topic, observations, questions, hypothesis, and the details of your experiment. Be descriptive with your language in each section and use correct grammar.
